The Spanish composer Manuel de Falla was born in Cadiz on 23 November 1876. Like a number of composers he was also a pianist. His music to many people is centred on Nights in the Gardens of Spain, which is a delicious evocation of the title, but sad that arguably greater works than this receive much less attention. Unfinished at his death in Argentina on 14 November 1946 was a monumental cantata Atlántida, subsequently completed by Ernesto Halffter.

Chapter 2!
Trip Start
Jan 18, 2013
Trip End
Jul 08, 2013
. Fortunately we were able to barge past and save our pennies despite some fairly strong resistance on her behalf! Sadly part of the grand palace was closed off so instead of forking out for a ticket we visited Wat Pho, A group of the oldest temples in the whole of Bangkok. They were amazingly ornate and elaborate and very different to Indian architecture. We also got to see the world's largest reclining Buddha which was HUGE. Afterwards we stumbled upon a market so between us we devoured a pot of strawberries and an entire mango before heading back to the hostel and braving some street food for supper (a noodle soup with pork) A trip to Tesco also found us some nice free tasters for pudding!
Em x
Although time-wise its not been very long in the scale of our trip, arriving in Bangkok has definitely felt like a new chapter in our travels! It was a slightly daunting place to arrive especially as our hostel is very much a hostel in comparison to the hotels we've been fortunate to stay in during the tour! It is also extremely hot and muggy which took a bit of getting used to! The first day we spent getting our Vietnamese visa and generally wondering around the local area. Then yesterday we were slightly more adventurous and treated ourselves to a Thai massage. However this was not quite the relaxing experience we were expecting as we were stretched, bent and cracked into all manner of positions!! Nevertheless we did emerge feeling a lot looser and energised! Afterwards we took a rickety bus across the city to visit the grand palace although this wasn't as easy as it sounds as none of the bus stops were numbered or signed! Arriving at the grand palace we were immediately targeted by a beggar woman who forcefully thrust small bags of corn for feeding pigeons into our hands, cut the plastic and then demanded money

Never forgetting the memories of Dalton. He's forever in our hearts and is kids are trying our best to keep him growing up with us. We miss him so so so much.
Posted by: Toni - Creston, IA Dec 30, 2013
To Dalton's family,
We only recently learned about Dalton's death. We are so very sorry. My son Abe wrestled Dalton and played football as well. May God's grace surround you while you walk this difficult road.

Christy and family,
I am so sorry to hear about Dalton. Our boys were only 12 days apart we were so blessed the year of 1996. Those June babies are so kind and loving. I'll hold my Kolton Bear tighter now and and give him extra love. I know your dad welcomed him to heaven with a big ol' bear hug. Dalton is more than likely fishing with his Grandpa and Jesus right now. You miss him terribly and andit

We want to send our deepest sympathy to you Christy, Shane, Mykenna and the entire family. We can't imagine the pain of losing a child, no parent should have to go through this. You dont know us but our daughter Macy is in Mykenna's class. You have been in our thoughts and prayers. We are so very sorry for your loss.

You will be missed very much. I didn't know you that well but are still cousins.
Posted by: Brittany Bohanan - Corning, IA - cousin Nov 28, 2012
I only knew Dalton when he was a very young child, so young he may have had no memory of me at all. It is very sad that such a young vibrant life was robbed of such great possibilities so early. I can only hope that he is able to find his family in heaven so they may watch over each other and be angels to those of us who may need one occasionally.
Rest in peace Dalton.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family and his friends, go with the Lord now.
Posted by: Arin Stewart - St. Joseph, MO - second cousin Nov 28, 2012
My thoughts and prayers are with you and all of the extended family out there touched by this tragedy. You hold a special place in our hearts and we will always support you. I'm sending a giant hug from Texas!

2005 NFL draft trade
I am a Saints fan. I was just wondering what you thought of the decision in the 2005 draft moving down from #13 to #16 and acquiring our 3rd round pick in the 2006 draft. The fact that we finished with the second worst record worked well for Houston giving you the 66th pick of the 2006 draft. Would you rather have Travis Johnson and Eric Winston or the 13th pick in 2005 where you could have selected Jammal Brown, Derrick Johnson, Thomas Davis? Jammal Brown has done exceedingly well in his first 2 seasons in the NFL. Your thoughts?

Re: 2005 NFL draft trade
I for one like TJ + Winston/Spencer (whoever we selected with that pick). We got our tackle and a decent prospect at DT.
In hindsight, however, I didn't know Jamaal Brown was going to be as good as he is. I think you guys got a good deal too

A good alternative to the city hotels
Having seen some beautiful photos of charming and classical rooms before booking, we got a mixed first impression upon arrival. The main building is very modern but stylish, the same goes for the rooms in that section. We had two completely different rooms, one in the old part, which was very much like expected, small but cozy. The other one was more like any other hotel room you find elsewhere. I would go there again, but would then choose a double deluxe room in the traditional style. Please note that if you find the air conditioning not working, just call the reception and they'll make the necessary adjustments :-) I think the staff should inform about this. They were however very friendly and helpful. The outdoor swimming pool area is beautiful and large, so guests with or without children had enough space to play around or just relax. I didn't have time to enjoy the spa, but it looks very nice. Maybe next time! Since this hotel is outside Verona, I personally think they should offer free WiFi as well as an affordable shuttle service to Verona; 25 Euro per person per way is too much!

SAVANNA ŌĆö It was the Clark Austin show in Monday afternoon's road game against the Savanna Bulldogs. The Talihina senior hit a grand-slam home run and got the pitching victory as the Golden Tigers routed the Dawgs 18-3. Editor's note ŌĆö Talihina's Tuesday home game with Smithville was rained out, with no rescheduled date set as of press time.
IDABEL ŌĆö Three Heavener Wolves were able to hit the links Tuesday before the rain hit at the Valliant Invitational at the Idabel Country Club. Jackson Long shot an 86, and likely will finish in the top 15 but not high enough to medal. Colt Dunigan shot a 96, while Chance Dunigan carded a 106. Poteau's golf teams were rained out of their respective tournaments on Tuesday, the Pirates at the Fort Gibson Tournament and the Lady Pirates at the Hilldale Invitational in Muskogee.
It took a while Monday night at Town Creek Park, but the Poteau Pirates baseball team finally was able to put away the pesky Panama Razorbacks by a score of 11-0 in a six-inning, run-rule victory. The Hogs opened the day with a 9-5 come-from-behind victory over the Whitesboro Bulldogs. Due to TuesdayŌĆÖs rain, the Day 2 games were rained out. The Pirates will meet the Cameron Yellowjackets at 6 p.m. Friday in Cameron in the winnerŌĆÖs-bracket quarterfinals.
CAMERON ŌĆö The Wister Wildcats took the first step in defending their county title Monday night with a 12-4 come-from-behind victory over the Howe Lions on opening-day action of the LeFlore County Tournament. The Lions opened the day with a comeback 3-2 win over the Leflore Savages. The last game of the night also saw a comeback as the host Cameron Yellowjackets rallied past the Heavener Wolves 8-6. However, everyone will have to wait until at least Friday to play their next tournament game as TuesdayŌĆÖs slate of games was rained out.
POCOLA ŌĆö On Thursday afternoon, the Pocola Indians came within an eyelash of knocking off the Spiro Bulldogs, only to fall short by the score of 4-3. The same two teams met Monday afternoon in the winnerŌĆÖs-bracket quarterfinals of the LeFlore County Tournament. Unfortunately for the homestanding Indians, the outcome was the same. The Bulldogs downed the Indians 9-2 after the Indians opened the day with a 15-1 rout of the Arkoma Mustangs.
ARKOMA ŌĆö The good news for Arkoma coach Mark Weatherton,:his Mustangs played their best game of the season. Unfortunately for them, they're still seeking their first win. The Kinta Eagles scored twice in the fifth inning to snatch a 4-3 win away from the Mustangs. Hackett, Ark., 5, Pocola 1: In Hackett, the Indians committed seven errors on the day, aiding Hackett to its five runs ŌĆö scoring once in the opening inning and twice in the third and fifth innings.
The Cameron Yellowjackets and the Panama Razorbacks were in the middle of their consolation semifinal Friday afternoon in the Crowder Tournament. The game was suspended by rain, tied at 3 in the third inning, but more rain on Saturday totally rained out the tournament. The rained-out games will not be rescheduled. The ŌĆÖJackets split their first two games of the day, beating the McAlester junior varsity 9-4, but losing to Muldrow 11-3. The Hogs lost their only game played, falling 8-2 to Hartshorne.
STILWELL ŌĆö The Heavener Wolves soccer team indeed had a Happy Easter weekend. The Wolves blanked the Tahlequah Tigers 1-0 in Friday night's title game to win the Stilwell Tournament. The Wolves will return to action at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Harvey Stadium against the Hugo Buffaloes for their district opener. The Lady Wolves will look for their first district win in the first game that night as they will face Keys (Park Hill) at 5 p.m. Tuesday at Harvey Stadium.
RED OAK ŌĆö The Poteau Lady Pirates almost did it the hard way to win the Red Oak Tournament on Friday afternoon ŌĆö but the key word was almost. After winning the first title game 4-3 over the host Lady Eagles, Red Oak beat Poteau 9-1 in the second title game to win its own tournament. The Lady Pirates lost their first game 8-3 to Wister, but beat Pocola 13-2, Wister 10-2, McCurtain 11-1 and Panama 13-0 to reach the championship game.
Ready for two weeks of county tournaments? The first one is here now as the LeFlore County Baseball Tournament started Monday at three sites ŌĆö tournament-host Cameron, Pocola and Poteau.

Power cut continued for the fourth consecutive day in the 13 Seemandhra districts on Wednesday. From Sunday the employees of APGENCO, AP Transco and the two discoms in the region have struck work protesting against the Union Cabinet's approval for creating Telangana.
And it now appears to be heading towards a major crisis, as the third round of talks with the Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy, within a span of two days, has failed.
Vidyut JAC convenor of Krishna district Satyanandan said that it was decided to extend the strike by 24 hours from 6 a.m on Thursday. For the six districts under the Southern Power Distribution Corporation Limited (SPDCL) including Krishna, Guntur, Prakasam, Chittoor, Nellore and Kadapa, Wednesday was the worst, as there was no power from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. at a stretch.
Normal life was paralysed with almost all sectors, including the emergency sector, not functioning.
SPDCL Chief Engineer K. Raja Bapaiah said the corporation was supplied only 103 MW, the lowest-ever in the history of SPDCL, compared to its usual requirement of 2,700 MW. Power was restored between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. loading 2,300 MW by 8 p.m. in the SPDCL's six districts.
On the other hand EPDCL was supplied lowest of 450 MW against its normal requirement of 1,700 MW. By evening about 1,500 MW was supplied. "Practically we were able to supply only to the cement companies located in Krishna district," he said.
He said power to railway traction had been resumed and the only affected line was the Tenali- Bapatla. Meanwhile, as far as, the generation of power in the Seemandhra region was concerned, it remained at zero level for the third day in succession. "Almost about 5,000 MW of generation was down in the Seemandhra region.
"At all the plants, be it two thermal plants of NTTPS, RTPS, hydel plants or private gas-based plants, the generation was zero," said NTTPS JAC Chairman P. Satyanarayana. He said the core team members of Vidyut JAC would be meeting the members of APNGOs on Thursday to decide the future course of action.

Re: macgregor 22
The older, smaller MacGregors like the V22 and the 25 are not the boats most people take issue with. The ones that get all the negative hype are the 26 X & M models that can take a 50 HP outboard and are neither really good sailboats or good motor boats.
Lots of folks started out with boats like the M 22 or 25. They really seem to be 'Stepping stone' boats that get people out on the water to begin with. Some are happy with a 22' or 25' boat but many are not and move up in size.
I think the best advice you have been given is to try to get out on nearly any sized keel boat. No keel boat is going to sail like a Rebel 16' which can plane.
On the other hand if you really want to try a boat that you can actually sleep on then why not a cheap M 22'? The only problem with this idea is you are talking about trading your Rebel 16 for it.

Editors' Review
+This download manager brings much more to the table than fast file transfers, but it definitely delivers those, too. Increased download speeds are Download Accelerator Plus's bread and butter, speeding up downloads by almost 200 percent in most cases and occasionally as high as 400 percent.
Besides splitting files into smaller pieces, it thrives on automatically seeking faster mirrors. It also can get a file simultaneously from several sites, which is useful if a particular site limits the download speed; it can resume downloads; and it can preview some media files while downloading. There's also a blacklist for sites that you never want to accept downloads from, and categorized folders and filters to keep your downloads organized. DAP rolls in a media buffer, too, that allegedly will prevent streaming-video hiccups. Ensuring that you're running the latest version of the Adobe Flash player won't hurt, either.
Two new features include a UI change that lets users choose a Firefox- or Internet Explorer-styled download window, and integration with DAP's publisher's video converter. Downloading and converting video on the fly is a pretty smart way to keep the program fresh. The program will prompt you at your first attempt if you don't have the converter installed and guide you through its installation. Frustratingly, the install process will weigh you down with a ton of toolbars, default switches, and e-mail recommendations that you must opt out of for a clean installation.
Although it's heavy with ads and promotions, DAP is still a good choice for adding some heat to your typical download recipe.

Best Female Hip Hop Artist – Nicki Minaj
In the wake of her chart-topping sophomore album, Pink Friday: Roman Reladed, Nicki Minaj was a no-brainer for Best Female Hip Hop Artist. "This is the third year in a row, and I don't take it for granted," Nicki said. "I really, really appreciate BET for keeping this category alive, and I appreciate all the female rappers doing their thing, past, present and future."

Alarm Bells Ringing At St James' Park
Newcastle have confirmed that they have NOT received an approach from Chelsea for midfielder Cheik Tiote. Michael Essien is set to miss most of the first half of the season after damaging knee ligaments and Chelsea have been scouring the market for potential reinforcements. However, Newcastle United were quick to point out the midfielder is not heading to Stamford Bridge. Newcastle United FC: "The club can confirm that they have received no enquiries for Cheik Tiote, contrary to some media reports." Tiote joined Newcastle from Dutch side FC Twente last summer for £4.5million and has signed a five year deal.

Cyberspace links traditional military domains
Tuesday - 11/1/2011, 11:00am EDT
Col. Steve Zotti, chief of staff, Marine Forces Cyber Command
By Jack Moore
Federal News Radio
The Defense Department has declared cyberspace to be a fifth domain — alongside the more traditional sectors of land, sea, air and space.
While the Pentagon has recognized cybersecurity in the same vein as those more traditional areas, the approach taken by the military in cyberspace will be anything but traditional.
Col. Steve Zotti, the chief of staff for Marine Forces Cyber Command, told the Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Amy Morris that cyberspace links together nearly all the other domains.
"With the advent of information technologies and computers and virtual communications, now you have something that bridges all those spaces ... Both from the physical space and then the virtual, intellectual, cognitive space," Zotti said.
While there's a "unique blending" with the other domains, Zotti said, the mission for DoD is to also capture the cyber realm's distinctions in terms of training, organizing and equipping.
Zotti said there are two facets to the cyber threat faced by the military and the government.
"The top threat for us — those of us in uniform, in the government and places that are critical to us in the commercial realm — is the insider threat," he said, which he defined as "the folks who through malicious intent or ignorance do things that make the system more vulnerable."
The problem, which spans everything from careless use of flash drives to deliberate leaking a la WikiLeaks, has been on DoD's "front-burner" since about 2008, he added.
The outside threat comes in the form of rapidly proliferating technologies, Zotti said.
"It doesn't take huge industrial-base support to leverage threats and weapons in cyberspace," he explained."The threats that come to us can come from very many places," and might not fit the standard nation-state form, he added.

SEC Opener
Mississippi State opens conference play against Kentucky for the fifth time in program history. The Bulldogs are 2-2 all-time in Southeastern Conference openers against the Wildcats. MSU boasts a winning record in the first game of the SEC season, going 45-35 all-time. This time could be much different against the No. 14 Wildcats. The Bulldogs have lost five in a row to Kentucky.
Mississippi State enters the match-up with 10 wins, equaling its total from a year ago. MSU hasn't won its conference opener since 2010, when it beat Ole Miss in Oxford.
Post test
Both Gavin Ware and Colin Borchert enjoyed career nights last time out against Maryland Eastern Shore. Ware pulled down 16 rebounds, made 10 field goals and attempted 14 shots - all career highs. For Borchert, he finished with a personal-best 22 points and five assists. The forwards now face stiff competition in stud freshman Julius Randle and stophomore Willie Cauley-Stein. Randle excels at drawing contact. He's gone to the line 118 times in 13 games. With only Roquez Johnson as a backup, Ware and Borchert need to defend intelligently.
Rise in competition
Mississippi State plays its first ranked opponent tonight when it travels to Kentucky. The Bulldogs have one of the worst strength of schedules in the country, playing the 327th-toughest slate so far. Mississippi State's 10 wins this season have come against opponents that are 49-94. South Florida (9-6) and Florida Gulf Coast (8-7) are the only teams MSU beat this season that have winning records. When the Bulldogs beat Gulf Coast, the Eagles were 5-5. Mississippi State's three losses have come to teams with a combined record of 30-12. The Bulldogs lost all three games by double digits.

MORE babies are being born early and surviving, but many still go on to have enduring health problems, research shows.
In two studies published in the British Medical Journal yesterday, researchers say little progress has been made in reducing serious long-term conditions, despite treatment advances.
"Increased admissions, increased survival and unchanged rates of major adverse outcomes suggest that while the total number of children surviving extremely pre-term birth free from impairments will rise, so will the number with long-term health problems," the authors of the first study say.

Bee, I'm so sorry for your angst, but do try not to be alarmed.
When I read your initial post and hadn't seen your later posts, the first thought that came to my mind was 'kidney stone'. My husband had one last year, and it was perhaps the scariest thing ever. Within 20 minutes, he went from mildly uncomfortable to experiencing the worst pain of his life, and I was just scared out of my wits. Once in the emergency room, though, they were able to treat the pain effectively. It can take a while to pass them, so if that's it, they may give him a script to help him manage. Please let us know when you know for sure....we'll be sending thoughts and prayers for you. |

Climate and the inter-annual variability of fire in southern Africa: a meta-analysis using long-term field data and satellite-derived burnt area data
Publiceringsår: 2010
Språk: Engelska

Volym: 19
Nummer: 6
Dokumenttyp: Artikel
Förlag: Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, Inc
Aim This study investigates inter-annual variability in burnt area in southern Africa and the extent to which climate is responsible for this variation. We compare data from long-term field sites across the region with remotely sensed burnt area data to test whether it is possible to develop a general model. Location Africa south of the equator. Methods Linear mixed effects models were used to determine the effect of rainfall, seasonality and fire weather in driving variation in fire extent between years, and to test whether the effect of these variables changes across the subcontinent and in areas more and less impacted by human activities. Results A simple model including rainfall and seasonality explained 40% of the variance in burnt area between years across 10 different protected areas on the subcontinent, but this model, when applied regionally, indicated that climate had less impact on year-to-year variation in burnt area than would be expected. It was possible to demonstrate that the relative importance of rainfall and seasonality changed as one moved from dry to wetter systems, but most noticeable was the reduction in climatically driven variability of fire outside protected areas. Inter-annual variability is associated with the occurrence of large fires, and large fires are only found in areas with low human impact. Main conclusions This research gives the first data-driven analysis of fire-climate interactions in southern Africa. The regional analysis shows that human impact on fire regimes is substantial and acts to limit the effect of climate in driving variation between years. This is in contrast to patterns in protected areas, where variation in accumulated rainfall and the length of the dry season influence the annual area burnt. Global models which assume strong links between fire and climate need to be re-assessed in systems with high human impact.

Anthony James "Tony" Lucca (born January 23, 1976, in Pontiac, Michigan), is an American singer, songwriter, producer, and sometime actor. He is perhaps best known for starting his career on the Mickey Mouse Club. After the Mickey Mouse Club, Lucca went to Los Angeles, California, for a brief career as an actor, then became a full-time musician. He is a consistent touring artist and has toured with a multitude of acts, including Maroon 5, Kelly Clarkson, *NSYNC, Marc Anthony, Josh Hoge, Sara Bareilles,[1] Matt Duke, Tyrone Wells, and the late Chris Whitley. He was the second runner-up on the second season (2012) of the American reality television singing competition talent show, The Voice, broadcast on NBC.
Early life[edit]
Lucca was born in Pontiac, Michigan, the son of Sally and Tony Lucca.[2] Lucca is of Italian, Welsh, French, and English descent.[2] Lucca grew up around a large and musical extended family,[3] as his mother Sally was tenth of twelve children of the Detroit jazz piano player James "Jimmy" Stevenson.[4][5][6] Lucca grew up in Waterford, Michigan, and began singing at age 3[7] and child modeling at age 9.[2] When he was 12, he began playing in Detroit-area bands with his cousin, Cole Garlak.[4][7][8][9]
Professional and musical career[edit]
1991–95: Mickey Mouse Club[edit]
When Lucca was 14, he went to Detroit to audition for the Disney movie Newsies, only to find out the audition was for the Mickey Mouse Club instead.[3] Encouraged by his sister, he auditioned for the show and was picked for callbacks in Los Angeles.[2][3] In Los Angeles, he was selected along with 8 other kids to join the cast for the fourth season of the show. Lucca moved to Orlando, Florida, with his mother and lived in an apartment complex with other castmates and traveled back to Michigan between seasons.[2] He remained with the show for four seasons, until being let go during the seventh season when the show was canceled.
1995–97: Hollywood[edit]
In 1995, after the cancellation of the Mickey Mouse Club, Lucca moved to Los Angeles to begin an acting career.[7] He lived with fellow Mickey Mouse Club castmate Keri Russell, his girlfriend at the time. Russell and Lucca were cast and played leads together on the Aaron Spelling-produced Malibu Shores,[10][11] a television teen drama series, which lasted for one season. During this time he filmed commercials for Levi Jeans, J.C. Penney, and Blockbuster Video.[2] He had minor success in movies, appearing in an NBC movie of the week, Her Last Chance with Kellie Martin and Jonathan Brandis,[12] as well as two independent features.[13] He left acting in 1997 to pursue music.
1997–2003: Independent music[edit]
In 1997, Lucca self-released his first music album, So Satisfied, which he also co-produced.[4] In 1998, he launched his website www.tonylucca.com and began to sell his debut CD and its self-released follow-up, Strong Words Softly Spoken through the website and at live shows. He later released two EPs and a limited series of Live & Limited CDs through his site; each CD sold was numbered and signed. In 2001 and 2002, he served as opening act for NSYNC, a boy band featuring fellow Mickey Mouse Club co-stars Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez.
2004–2011: Lightyear and Rock Ridge Music[edit]
Lucca's third full-length album and his first commercially-distributed, Shotgun, was released in 2004 in conjunction with Lightyear and New Vibe Records; the album was executive co-produced by JC Chasez, who Lucca toured with to support the album.[14] 2006 saw the release of Canyon Songs, recorded in both Laurel and Beachwood Canyons,[15] and Live In Hollywood, a live concert album; both albums were distributed by Rock Ridge Music. Come Around Again was released in 2008.
Lucca participated in a cooperative tour with Jay Nash and Matt Duke, which resulted in the 2009 EP entitled TFDI. The collaboration, which stands for "Totally Fuckin' Doing It"[16] was recorded in the Evanston, Illinois, studio SPACE during an impromptu visit to the studio, after the three artists formed a friendship during the tour.[7][17] Lucca briefly returned to acting in 2010, starring in a 901 Silver Tequila commercial, which was directed by the brand's founder Justin Timberlake.[18] He also played himself on an episode of Parenthood, appearing as a performing musician.[19] Lucca's sixth album was released in 2010, entitled Rendezvous With the Angels, on Rock Ridge Music. Solo, an acoustic CD composed of b-sides and previously unreleased recordings was released in November 2010, and given away for free in conjunction with Amazon.com's MP3 web store. Lucca recorded a second collaborative CD with Jay Nash and Matt Duke, TFDI II, which was released in the summer of 2011.
2012: Contestant on NBC's The Voice[edit]
On February 5, 2012, Tony appeared on the Blind Auditions of the American reality talent show The Voice in its second season. He performed Ray LaMontagne's "Trouble", and all four judges hit their red "I Want You" button for him. He chose to join Adam Levine's team.[20] It was also in this show he reunited with fellow Mouseketeer Christina Aguilera. Initially, she showed no sign of recognition but then realized who he was after he left the stage, and she followed him to congratulate him, also revealing that when they were young, Britney Spears, another fellow Mouseketeer, had a crush on Lucca. He advanced to the semi-finals, which he performed "How You Like Me Now" by The Heavy and moved on to the final round. For the final round on May 7, he performed Hugo's country-styled version of the Jay-Z song, "99 Problems". While enjoying his performance overall, Aguilera criticized Lucca for singing a song she saw as being derogatory towards women, as the song contains the line "I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one." (Lucca did not sing the word "bitch" during the TV performance, but does on the studio recording.) This prompted Lucca's coach Levine to defend his performance, stating he and Lucca discussed the content of the song and decided to go on with it, but used Hugo's version to change the tone and be taken less seriously, as well as revealing a black T-shirt with a sparkling pink "Team Xtina" logo on it. During that night since Lucca's performance, Aguilera made more jabs at him by stating her finalist Chris Mann was "a real [gentle]man" who respects women, as well as appearing to ignore Lucca's other performances that night. On May 8, 2012, Lucca made his last performance on the show duetting with fellow contestant Jordis Unga formerly of Team Blake on the Fleetwood Mac song, "Go Your Own Way". Later that night, it was announced he had placed third in the competition, barely placing ahead of Mann by one quarter of a percentage point and coming behind winner Jermaine Paul from Team Blake and first runner-up Juliet Simms from Team Cee Lo. Lucca was later signed to Adam Levine's record label, 222 Records.
2013: EP Release and Tour[edit]
Lucca released a six song EP "With The Whole World Watching" on July 16, 2013. Lucca toured extensively following the release, including six dates on the Honda Civic Tour opening for Kelly Clarkson and Maroon 5.
2013: Record Deals and Patreon[edit]
Lucca joined Patreon in 2013. On 12/11/2013, while plugging Patreon on his YouTube channel, Tony announced he is no longer with Adam Levine's record label 222 Records. Excerpt: "Some of you know that recently I was signed to a fairly high profile record deal. -Super cool. What most of you don't know is that, said "record deal", has since come to an end. -Not as cool. Your basic record business 101 really..."
Other Ventures[edit]
Many of Lucca's songs have been featured in various TV shows, including Friday Night Lights, Brothers & Sisters, Shark and Felicity and in the movie Open Range. He appeared in an episode of the E! True Hollywood Story series, covering his time spent on The Mickey Mouse Club in 2007.[21] He has performed numerous times on NBC's Last Call with Carson Daly as a part of the show's band.[9]
Personal life[edit]
Lucca dated fellow Mouseketeer (and eventual Malibu Shores co-star) Keri Russell on-and-off for eight years[22][23]
On July 7, 2007 Lucca married single mom Rachel, adopting her son Liam. They live in Nashville, Tennesse, and have a daughter, Sparrow Jane Lucca (born October 17, 2009).

Some recent applications of methods from Intelligent Systems Engineering (ISE) to key research problem areas in optical networking are reviewed. A brief introduction to ISE for a general technical audience is given, focusing on the methods that will appear in the applications considered. Progress in generic network design and optimization techniques applicable to the optical domain is outlined, after which specific examples are described. In particular, the use of fuzzy logic in optical CDMA, the employment of genetic algorithms to optimize indoor optical wireless transmission, the use of artificial neural networks for predistortion in radio over fiber and the determination of optimum routes in optical core networks are presented. The paper concludes with a discussion of the future directions for ISE in optical networking.

About the Awards |
Balrog Awards
About Winners By Year By Category Winners and Nominations Complete List by Nominee Records and Tallies Results by Year: |
The Balrog Awards, named after creatures from Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, were fan-voted awards for works of fantasy. The awards lasted only a few years, and despite numerous categories and lengthy ballots, were never taken very sereiously. They are referred to, always ironically, as the "coveted Balrog Awards". |
